SetModbus

Configure UART settings and start the LogicPython Modbus RTU slave process.

from cubloc import SetModbus
 
SetModbus(channel: int,
    baudRate: int,
    protocol: int,
    recvSize: int,
    sendSize: int,
    slaveAddress: int,
    coils: object,
    discreteInputs: object,
    inputRegisters: object,
    holdingRegisters: object,
    memoryLock: object,
    returnInterval: int = 0)

• channel: Serial channel number. Channel 0 maps to UART0 (GP0/GP1) and channel 1 maps to UART1 (GP4/GP5).
• baudRate: Serial baud rate (2400 to 921600).
• protocol: Encoded bit field for data bits, parity, and stop bits. See the tables below.
• recvSize: Receive buffer size in bytes (1 to 4096).
• sendSize: Send buffer size in bytes (1 to 4096).
• slaveAddress: Modbus unit ID (1 to 247).
• coils: Writable bit-packed coil buffer (8 coils per byte).
• discreteInputs: Writable bit-packed discrete-input buffer (8 inputs per byte).
• inputRegisters: Writable input-register byte buffer (2 bytes per register).
• holdingRegisters: Writable holding-register byte buffer (2 bytes per register).
• memoryLock: lock object to synchronize Modbus memory access between the user program and the Modbus RTU slave process.
• returnInterval: Delay in microseconds before replying to a Modbus query from the Modbus master (default 0).

protocol bit layout:

Common protocol values:

• TypeError: An argument has an invalid type.
• ValueError: baudRate, protocol, recvSize, sendSize, or slaveAddress is outside the supported range.
• RuntimeError: Modbus startup failed.
